Frightful Explosion.

ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. AT 7:45
O'Clock yesterday morning the boilers
of the Geo. P. Plant Milling Compa-
ny's mill. at the corner of Chouteau
avenue and Risley street, exploded,
demolisbing the boiler-house and the
engine house, killing three men and
one woman and injuring four men
and one girl. Terrible as was the
damage done by the flying fragments
and the conclusion, the explosion
was more remarkable for the hair
breadth escapes incident to it. What
caused the explosion can not be de-
termined definitely. The fireman
who would be able to tell whether
there was water enough in the boilers
is dead. The explanation of the en-
gipeer is the best that can be OBJ
tanned. Whatever the cause the ex-
plosion vas certainly the most terrific
that eyer occurred in the city. The
boiler-house was a one-story brick
building on q stone foundation 1t
was fifty feet long. Two boilers,
each 35 feet in length, occupied this
house. The westward of these was
a "Firmenlch" boiler of 800 horse
power. The second was a Babcock
& Wilcox boiler Of $50 horse power.
Both boilers were said to be non-ex-
Dlosive.
